FogBUGZ 3.0 is a Web-based software project management system.
Created to be a database of cases, which can be feature requests, traditional
bug reports or customer e-mails, every case is assigned to one
person who must resolve it or forward it to someone else. Cases can be
prioritized, documented, edited, estimated, searched and more. Cases can
be entered by e-mail or through the Web interface; there are no required
fields, and anyone can edit a bug report. Screenshots, sample files
and almost any type of document can be attached to a case in FogBUGZ, and
Unicode is supported so bugs can be entered in any language. In addition,
FogBUGZ can be integrated with source code managers, such as VSS, CVS,
Vault and Perforce, and bidirectional links between check-ins and bugs
may be maintained. FogBUGZ 3.0 for UNIX can run on Red Hat, SuSE,
Mandrake, Debian and FreeBSD.

The Escalade 8506 Series Multi-lane Internal (MI) Connector
RAID controllers are an integrated connector system that combines four
SATA ports into a single connection on the controller side and a single
connector on the backplane. The Multi-lane Controllers support up to 12
Serial ATA drives on a single PCI card, enabling up to 3TB of storage
on a half-length card (dependent on drive capacity). Employing
Escalade's StorSwitch switched architecture, the 8506-MI enables Serial
ATA's point-to-point architecture performance of up to 1.5GB/sec per
port. The MI Controller offers RAID 0, 1, 10, 5 and JBOD support and is
64-bit/66MHz PCI-compliant.

Roku, maker of the HD1000 high-definition digital media
player, recently released a software developer's kit (SDK) for the
creation of media applications for high-definition television. The Roku
SDK allows developers to create applications for the Roku HD1000 in the
C and C++ languages. Developers can use the SDK to access
television-centric user-interface elements, media streaming, network and
memory card access and device control. In addition, custom installers
can control the Roku HD1000 without the SDK by using simple ASCII
control commands. The HD1000 is completely controllable from the serial
port, Ethernet port or scripts running on the device. The SDK is
available for download at www.rokulabs.com/developers.
